Abstract Three species of Saemundssonia Timmermann, 1936 parasitic on skuas are recognised as valid: Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) cephalus (Denny, 1842) on Stercorarius parasiticus; S. (S.)inexspectata Timmermann, 1951 on Stercorarius longicaudus; and S. (S.)euryrhyncha (Giebel, 1874) on Stercorarius pomarinus as well as on all species of Catharacta. The name Saemundssonia stresemanni Timmermann, 1949 is proposed as a junior synonym of S. (S.)euryrhyncha. Measurements and illustrations to facilitate ...

Many Neartic seabirds migrate to South America for the non-breeding season, using several key stopover and wintering sites along the Atlantic coast. The Stercorarius pomarinus is a widely distributed seabird found in every Ocean. It is a migratory bird from northern North America that flies southwards. However, there is little information about the occurrence of Stercorarius pomarinus along the São Paulo State coast. Former publications concerning the birds of Iguape- Cananéia- Ilha Comprida estuary ...

This note confirms the presence of three species of Jaegers both on the Caribbean and the Pacific coasts of Colombia. In addition to an updated list of sightings for each species, the note reports on two specimens not previously recorded in the scientific literature. The presence of Catharacta skua, and possibly C. maccormicki in Colombia is also discussed.

The evolution of skuas is puzzling in several respects. Based on cladistic analysis of behaviour and review of other evidence, a likely phylogeny is suggested which is used to trace the evolution of plumage coloration and other traits in skuas. Behavioural, parasitological and four kinds of genetic evidence now show that the Pomarine Skua Stercorarius pomarinus is more closely related to great skuas, usually placed in the genus Catharacta, than to the two smaller Stercorarius species. All skuas ...
